James at Brands
On the 9th of July James Clamp traveled to Brands Hatch to contest round 6 of the BEMSEE Nationwide Championship.
Having not competed in many of the championship races so far, James was allocated a lowly grid position of 34 out of 36.
After a restart caused by an incident at Paddock Hill, James swiftly worked his way up to 20th place. Because of the earlier incident the race was reduce to 6 laps and only approximately 51 second to complete a lap, James ran out of time to progress further.
In order to qualify for the A Final James needed to finish in the top 18 so he found himself on the front row for the B Final.
James made an impressive start and was leading down Paddock Hill bend and into Druids. A small mistake saw him drop to second place and on the start/finish straight he found himself losing more places to newer bikes with more horsepower. Having dropped to 6th place, James battled well to recover to 5th by the chequered flag. James wishes to express his sincere thanks to MAG Sport, Breckland Body Centre, Iceni Motorcycles and Feridax for their support.
James has joined a new sponsorship initiative which can be viewed at www.adopt-a-racer.org.uk
